Also, I remember a friend showing me in Zoom that you can share not just one but multiple screens/windows—press the SHFT key while clicking the windows you want to share.

How do people discover these things?

The same question I asked (that was me after using Zoom for 3+ years).

Isn't that the same of how you select multiple files in most file managers?

Shift+Click: select from currently selected item to clicked item

Ctrl+Click: add/remove clicked item to set of selected items

Sure, but the idea you can share multiple windows this way.

Can Google Meet (or hangout or w/e they call it now adays) do some of this?
